Interesting. I have not, specifically ex-SIN (as of mid Nov) and pre-covid ex-HKG. I had thought that given the minimal options and the fact that the flight time is often sub 7 hours that no breakfast card made sense. Coming from Japan makes sense to have one given the longer flight time.

They don't typically give breakfast cards on the overnight flights from Asia. Normally just a trolley with the options like the B&E roll.

HA! Unfortunately not worth crediting to another program on the OW alliance as I don't have status anywhere else. I might do what Flyfreqently has suggested and still try and claim. Overall the trip itself was great (even if my writing didn't necessarily convey that), just when comparing to...

As some here may remember, I was the lucky winner of the P1 competition to London. Having recently returned from the week away and thought I would provide some details around it. I'm not going to do a full TR, however thought that some may be interested. This post is to focus more on the...

7 Nov, QF1 J > F x2 pax successful. Notified at T-7 days (I'm P1) 13 Nov, QF2, J > F x2 pax unsuccessful.

Yes, I'm sure all those carriers 'can' do fine - but they don't always. Have had some pretty leathery steaks on EK (haven't had steak on SQ or MH and haven't flown BA). I've also had a couple of good steaks on QF over the years. Bit aggressive and harsh to call them numkies given they are just...

Yes, I'm not saying it's not possible but on balance have had more bad steaks than good over the years. I guess my point about the meats is that they are also good in things like curries too so the versatility increases when using those types of meats which would allow a caterer / airline in...

To be fair, a lot of carriers can't get steak right, not just QF. Airlines would be best to stick to meats that are better at long / slow cooking times as these meats also are typically better at being reheated (e.g. lamb shank / shoulder, pork shoulder / belly, beef cheek / brisket, chicken...

Anyone know if QF have released the shackles and allowed the staff to make coughtails or are they still restricted by what's listed on the menu?

Whilst it might be good compared to other carriers, it's still disappointing that 2/3 of the time you get some pretty average stuff given the amount you're paying for the seat and experience. A more consistent product is needed. As PF said upthread, QF need to bring back the tasting menu and...

I would agree with those stats. I'm not quite at 30 segments in F, however your less than 1/3 statistic of decent reds would be similar to my hit rate.

We can only dream. The glory days. As long as they have a decent champagne and red I can medicate myself sufficiently for a nice sleep

Thanks for sharing. Whilst yes, there has been a lot of crossover with the J menu for a number of years now, there have generally been some first only options (e.g. lamb rack) which is what I was hoping to see. Also was keen to see the wine list as when I travelled the same route around this...

Does anyone have a recent QF1 menu that they could share?

It disappeared during COVID and hasn't come back. I generally used it previously to ensure that I got what I wanted, however it was hit and miss whether it actually registered as there was more than one occasion that the FA asked what I was having and when I mentioned that I had already...

I have a few times, but it's been only when I've been in row 1 on the 787. Generally have been speaking with the crew during boarding / safety demonstration and they have said before they sit down 'what drink can I get you after departure' and not long after the seatbelt sign has been switched...

If I understand what the OP is saying, I would think as you suggest it's ensuring you get the meal you want (if you're sitting further back in the cabin) or even little things like I've mentioned in another thread where I was offered a coffee from the (n)espresso machine whilst most others...

I've only had to share a room once when travelling for work. Very similar type situation and I was quite junior at the time so wasn't going to stick my neck out given others more senior than me had accepted it. Luckily it was only two nights. In saying that, if this was to happen right now, I...

I understand it to be a newer thing which is why those that booked previously were able to select. They are now withholding rows 1-5 for P1/CL until T-80 when it's a free for all (I believe that this is the right approach, particularly if they are going to put the unrefurbed bird on that route).

I shudder at the thought!
